OMG i didnt realise machines could run on battery.

Nihm batteries (green ones) last a maximum of 4 years if used regularly.
Nicad batteries (blue ones) are old, obsolete and destructive when they leak - remove them as soon as you find them!

Machines will run fine without the backup battery, but they will start with a cleared memory every time you switch them on.

If the machine you want to leave off has a decent battery on it then the memory could be held for several months - it does depend.
